Hi,
Thats great,Katim.Count me in. I tried to access the link
<http://talk.fanafana.com/list-archives/bush-hackers/>
but to no avail.

Extra info,I live in Finland,Helsinki the birthplace of Linux...o-)
I am a software engineer working for Nokia Telecommunications,it would be
very nice to share experience with other Gambian computer geeks in the
Diaspora.
Lets make the mailing a reality.

regards,
Alieu
